I'm a bit lost when I try to imagine what is important to know for easier/better/more contributing to the doc project. What could be done to promote contributing??? I have only very few ideas at the moment: 1) Maybe, the instructions on the three websites should be better synchronized: http://www.oooauthors.org http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation http://documentation.openoffice.org/ 2) Maybe, the todo list should be organized in a more intuitive way so that anybody could get a cleare picture what needs to be done and how urgent it is. 3) (Is there a mission statement anywhere?) But these seem minor issues to me as contributing (i.e. writing from scratch, or reviewing, or indexing, or even producing video tutorials) needs time, commitment and kind of devotion to describing/clarifying a certain area in OOo. And maybe also a good portion of altruism, I'd say. But well, in most cases, it is pretty mixed with fun and success :-) So a question could be, how could we facilitate/enhance/stimulate altruism, commitment, fun and success? Other ideas & different views welcome :-) Nino --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
